The CHEERFUL FARM KITCHEN
A spacious farm kitchen, when there's
a clean and loving mother presiding
over it, is about as pleasant as any
spot on the earth. The great stove
with its cheerfully singing kettle, the
smooth painted floor, the braided rug
for mothers feet, the dear little squeak
ing rocking-chair in which she knits
and sews, the geraniums and petunias
and other easy-growing plants in the
windows, the big long table-with
plenty of room for everybody and
some to spare-on which are served
such meals as only "mother" can pre-
pare. All we are sorry for the poor
child that does not get life-start in
such ROOM 1t is to this big, pleas
ant-atmosphered kitchen that the
children can look for comfort and
pleasure in this growing November
weather. There is school, to be sure,
but night sets in almost as soon as
school closes, and in the hours be-
tween four o'clock and bedtime some
thing must be done for the child whose
natural, healthful cry is for "some-
thing to do"

AN OPPORTUNITY FOR MANURE
MAKING.-To preserve a healthful
condition, maintain the vital warmth,
and keep the skin in proper action,
thorough carding and brushing should
not be neglected in winter dairy,
and the utmost cleanliness in every
respect should be observed. Album
dant supplies of absorbents, of which
dried swamp muck is the best, and
hard wood sawdust and fresh leaves
next, and in place of these cut straw,
or any other fine waste material should
be procured. The winter dairy is a
grand opportunity for making ma.
nure, and the improvement of farm,
and to this end every possible econo-
my in saving and preserving the ma.
nure should be exercised. The feed,
ing must be liberal and of the best
food. 1t must be regular in quality,
quantity and time; because out of the
food the butter must come, and in
quantity will be exactly equivalent to
the food given.

That farmers are generally feeling
the necessity of an organization, are
ready for it, is proven by the various
forms of united effort that are spring
ing up here and there. 1t is for pa
irons to see to it that the claims OF the
Grange above others are kept before
their neighbors. A farmers club Is
far better than no organization, but
what unity of action exists between
the farmers clubs of even one State ?
How can they possibly all act together
upon some important measure for or
against farmers that may be before
Congress? A Grange can do every
thing that can be done by farmers
club in local matters, and, besides, II
can handle State and national ques-
tons of Importance, and act on them.
Members of the Grange should be
very favorable to and friendly to farm
ers' clubs and other local societies.
They are all preparing the farmer for
the Grange. They are the stepping
stones to the best and most successful
farmers organization the world has
ever known.

II noticed, not long since, some one
writing about the Grange, said that 1t
had passed its mushroom days SO
we think, and we are warranted in this
thought by the sure and steady pro-
gress of the order for the last three
wears. and the increased and increas-
ing growth during the present year
shows very clearly that the more the
farmers think and read about it, and
the more they see and know of it, and
the better they understand its princi-
pies and purposes, the more readily
they lay aside their prejudices against
it, and the more thoroughly are they
convinced that it is the greatest of the
farmers organizations greatest in age,
greatest in experience, greatest in in
fuence, greatest in the perfectness of
its system of work, and greatest
numerically, and these facts account
for the thousands of our best educated,
best informed men and women turning
into the Grange as the farmers most
reliable friend"

What Is this Disease that is Coming
Upon Us?

Like a thief at night it steals
in upon us unawares. The pa
tients have pains about the
chest and sides, and sometimes
in the back. They feel dull
and sleepy; the mouth has a
bad taste, especially in the
morning. A sort OF sticky slime
collects about the teeth. The
appetite is poor. There is a
feeling like a heavy load on the
stomach; sometimes a faint, all
gone sensation at the pit of the
stomach which food does not
satisfy. The eyes are sunken,
the hands and feet become cold
and clammy. After a while a
cough sets in, at first dry, but
after a few months it is attend
ed with a greenlsh-colored eZ-
pectoration. The patient feels
tired all the while, and sleep
does not seem to afford amy
rest. After time he becomes
nervous, irritable and gloomy,
and has evil 5oreholjngS. There
is a giddiness, Il sort of whirl-
ING sensation in the head when
rising up suddenly. The bow
els become costlve; the skin Is
dry and hot at times; the blood
becomes thick and stagnant;
the whites of the eyes become
tinged with yellow; the urine
is scanty and high colored, de-
posting a sediment after stand
ing. There is frequently a
splitting up of the food, some
times with a sour taste and
sometimes with a swedish
taste; this is frequently at
tended with palpitation of the
peart; the vision becomes I'M
,aired, with spots before the
eyes; there is a feeling of great
prostration and weakness. All
Of these symptoms are in turn
present. 1t is thought that
nearly one-third of our popu-
lation has this disease in some
of it's varied forms.
1t has been found that ply
sicians have mistaken the cause
cf this disease. Some have
-reated it for a liver complaint,
others for kidney disease, etc,
tic, but none of these kinds Of
treatment have been attended
with success; for it is really
constipation and dyspepsia. 1t
is also found that Shaker Ex-
tract of Roots, or Mother Sci
sels Curative Syrup, when
properly prepared will remove
his disease in all its stages.
Care must be taken, however,
to secure the genuine article.

From different sections of the coun-
try we occasionally hear of new Or
CARNATIONS for farmers. Sometimes
they take one form and name, then
again another. They flourish for a
time, then pass away. They do not
seem to have depth of root; the tie
that binds is too loose; they accom-
plish local good, sometimes State is
benefited but the great agricultural
population of the nation, as whole,
is not reached by them. The Grange
has done all that can possibly be done
in any other or new organization, and
it has accomplished more than all 9th
ers put together through its action
upon matters of national Importance.
1t has stood the test of time, has lived
and hourishes years after others that
started later have passed away. Amer
icans-American farmers are no ex-
ception to the rule-seem to like
change, they leave the old for the
new. But if we farmers are always
"the rolling stone," always changing
base, always experimenting, we will
never be completely organized, never
all ready to act together, and will
never accomplish those things that can
only be brought about by complete
organization of our class, local, State
and national. This organization we
believe is best found in the Grange, in
proof of which we point to its age, its
achievements and its present growth
and prosperity.

THE PENNSYLVANIA ACCIDENT,
What the Passengers Say About the
Smashup.

OmuSnup.
PITTsBURG, May 2S.-Lstest reports from the
scene of accident at the horseshoe bend of the
Pennsylvania railroad, last night state that eight
were killed and six injured Four were killed out
right and the others haye since died. The ill fated
train arrived at the union depot in this city at 43O
this morning, with some ninety passengers aboard.
Almost the fret person to step from the train was
Miss Nc aahon, of Beaver Falls, Pa. Her story is
as follows:
81 was sitting about the middle of the second
coach from the engine. The train was running at
a high rate of speed, when was thrown violently
against the seat in front of me. In
minute all was confusion. l soon
heard shreks from the passengers in the coach in
the rear of the one | was in. | raised the window
and looked out. Tn entire sides of the two
coaches Immediately in the rear of the one | was
in were crushed and could see the passen-
gers climbing out over the coal cars lying On an
adjoining track. The passengers who were not
injured, assisted in removing the killed and
wounded"
Mr. j II. Peach, of Bellevue, Pennsylvania, wac
passenger in the third coach from the smoking
car
81 was sitting said he, 'about four seats to the
entire side of our coach was crushed in, and
young Graham was literally buried beneath the
ruins. But one moan escaped his lips, and he
must have died instantly, for he was
about the first victim. We set about to recover the
body. When eXtricated from the wreck, his form
was lifelesl. We must have been running at a rate
of speed of alb nut thirty miles hour at the time
the collision occurred, and the freight, shonld
Judge was going about twelve miles an hour. Il e
freight was heavily loaded. The terrible crash
caused panic among the passengers.

SHERMAN'S CHANCES.
The Willy Ohio Senator Quietly Organ
izing for the Campaign.


New YORK, May ga special from Albany to
the World SAYS A gentleman who recently re-
turnedifrom Ohio, where he has been in confer
ence with his friend Senator John sherman, gives
the World correspondent what appears TO be the
well defined policy of Senator Sherman in the in
terest of his presidential aspirations.
"Senator Sherman, said this emissary, when the
proper time Gomez, will show strength and
following in his state that will surprise Mr. Blaine
Sherman has his fir ends in Ohio well
trained He has the entire republic
can machinery in his control, and there
will not be courage enough upon the part of his
enemies in Ohio to make anything like formid-
able opposition to his nomination. sherman will
soon have his interests in New York 50 well
guarded and protected that he cannot he deprived
of thu vote Of this state in the national convention
'Senator Sherman's plan" he continued, ''is to
capture the state of New York, through the infu-
ence of Levi p. Morton, who is the senator's choice
for vice president. Sherman's friends in Ohio I'M
dersand this, and all the work that is being done,
has been done with this object in
view. Sherman will not willingly
consent to having any other than Morton on the
ticket with him Morton, too, is ambitious to con
tribute much as possible to the successful down
fall of BLAINE in revenge for the part Blaine took
in the late senatorial contest when
Frank Hiscock was elected over
Morton. The recent visit of Murat Halsted
and Deacon Richard smith to New York, was for
the purpose of comforting with Mr.. Morton rela-
tive to plans to carry on the campaign. The anti.
Sherman element, which in 1884 was headed
by j. T. Mack, of Sandusky has been
whipped into time, and he does not now oppose
Shermans nomination. Sherman's organization
in this state is far more complete than anyone
knows of, except, of course, Mr.. Sherman ano
his friends and managers"

The Alleged Train Robbers.

United States Marshal Rankin and
Deputy Marshal Bell brought over from
San Antonio yesterday morning, Abe and
j. M. Ussery and John and Cheed Craft,
the four men who were arrested near
Luling few days ago on charge
of robbing the United States
mail. The men were lodged
in the county jail until yesterday aft r
noon, when they were taken before United
States Commissioner Ruggles for hearing
The warrant was read to them and they
each and all entered a plea of not guilty
to the charge. AS none of them had re-
tanned counsel or had witnesses summoned.
continuance was granted until next
Monday, and bond was fixed in each case
at $4,000. Failing 10 give it, they were
returned to jail. The four prisoners are
ordinary looking men, were dressed in
rough garb, and would be taken for ordin-
airy farmers. None of them seem
to be over forty years old, and
two of them have the appearance of
being on the sunny side of thirty. TO re
porters who sought interviews with them
they declined t. make statements of any
kind whatever.
The STATESMAN learns from good
source that the officers are in possession
of facts of important character, that
are liable to be developed within
very short while, and that
when made known will be interesting to
the general public. Until, however, they
are ready, the officers are not going to
give out even whisper of what they
| have in view.
